Mention photos - if you would prefer not to have your face in photos please inform us after the event
- Add customized sponsor logo(s) on slides Who is AWI? - we are a charity dedicated to reducing the stigma of mental illness with transition-aged youth, work in regions throughout North America - we have been working primarily in California since 2011 and in the last year and a half expanded to three areas of Canada, as well as the New England area in the U.S. (if applicable) - We host an ongoing monthly short film competition where filmmakers anywhere in the world can submit a film on the topic of mental health, these are juried and monthly winners receive $1,000 cash prize (will tell you more about that at the end of our time together) - We then take these winning films and facilitate discussions in our postsecondary Movies for Mental Health program (youâll see what this is all about today) and run a high school program that teaches media literacy to youth and allows them to make their own short films on mental health - Also a part of a larger global community, release blogs twice a week on feature length films, or film festivals related to themes of mental illness Brought to you by: PROP 63: Follow bullets; worth mentioning that each CA county can decide how to spend it and it funds programs like this one; Want to learn look it up in conjunction with the State Dept of Mental Health Finally, weâre brought here by your campusâs Student Health and Wellness Center, repped by some of our panelists. - mention any nonprofit partners or corporate sponsors
- Want to explain what I mean about this statement⌠Mental health is personal and our experiences are different, we all come from different backgrounds and cultures â you are the experts on YOU and know yourself better than anyone else We donât often talk about mental health; as a society we donât tend to talk about issues/experiences related to this theme, so sometimes we donât know HOW to talk about these topics. First and foremost keep yourself safe today, donât feel compelled to share anything youâre not comfortable with. This is a new space and you might feel ready to share but might not know what responses youâll have, and it is a public space with no guaranteed confidentially so be mindful of the space that we are in before you disclose. Some of the films might be triggering, meaning they might elicit an emotional reaction. The films are very powerful and itâs completely normal to feel overwhelmed, so take the time you need to re-group and be present here. I encourage you to take note of how youâre feeling and investigate that / nurture that after the workshop. We have counsellors in the room today that are here to help you if you need to step out (say names of counsellors, have them raise their hands in the audience).
- Pre-slide: With that in mind, letâs get started by providing a context and setting the stage for the messages we receive in the media. Ask Q
- Think about the characters in the films you shared, what are some adjectives youâd use to describe those characters, how have the characters been portrayed? We see a lot of extremes here, ie. Really special, really problematic 1 in 5 of us, 20% of us have a diagnosable mental illness each year (1 in 3 or even 1 in 2 have a MI in our lifetime), consider how these labels influence us. (Optional to save until next slides)
- Mental Health is a big topic, and can include so many different things. Today, weâll be exploring two topics that fall under the umbrella of Mental Health.
- We use the term often, letâs work together to craft definitions according to your thoughts For us in this room at this workshop it doesnât matter what anyone says, we donât need clinical definitions but how do we define and what does it feel like for us.
- This is a term that we might not hear as often. What might it mean? What are some mental wellness practices? How does mental wellness relate to mental illness? Can you have a mental illness and still be mentally well? Helping think about themselves as more than a disease. 5 in 5 of us have mental health, it is a universal experience, something we can agree we need to nourish and take care of, influences all aspects of our lives.
- Mention brief blurb about the film â won our competition in <YEAR>, sentence about the filmmaker Segue theme of film â stigma- into next slide
- What the film really addressed here is stigma. We know stigma exists and we talk a lot about it in relation to mental illness, but how would you really define it? Discuss stereotypes v. stigma - stereotypes can be negative or positive, stigma is always negative Stigma is false Stigma easily internalized and we believe them about ourselves Ie. all girls are bad at sports v. all boys are good at sports (neither is true but one is positive) Stigma can be experienced in a number of ways, and not solely related to mental illnessâŚ
- Knowing that this is something we have all experienced in some shape or form, how does stigma feel? Comments/ Questions that can be added about stigma specifically: - stigma creates barriers to understanding - stigma defines someone as only one aspect of who they are, when this label doesnât fit who you are itâs a frustrating feeling - If someone mentions stereotypes; difference between stereotypes and stigma is stereotypes can be positive or negative, sometimes funny, however stigma is always negative and feels awful, dehumanizing - There are various types of stigma â cultural and self-stigma; this can snowball and create really negative experiences - Believing the self-stigma (and itâs completely human to do so) can be dangerous when we internalize, become very hard on ourselves. - Itâs not a true/false, itâs a societal construct - Impact of stigma in accessing resources (what is?) Segue into films: We are here today taking the first step by talking about these experiences, learning through films to combat stigma and learn from one another. These feelings, these byproducts of being stigmatized is why itâs so important to have these supportive and compassionate conversations / listening to one another is an incredibly powerful way to battle stigma Weâre fighting the feelings that stigma brings out in humans that makes people feel they canât reach out, canât get help...really hard to break through. This is something that we can work together to fight. So, on that note, letâs watch the first film!
- Mention when film came into library, brief note about filmmaker When watching the film encourage you to remain aware of how the film makes you feel, and what the film makes you think and weâll break into groups afterward to discuss.
- In an academic environment it can be challenging to discuss feelings and emotions where thoughts are more abstract, but encourage students to challenge themselves Feelings represent important feedback and itâs important to listen to them. Turn to your neighbours in small groups and discuss these questions, we will come back together in a few minutes. Communicate a signal for getting studentsâ attention?
- Can provide an example of a thought and/or feeling to get the group started. Live document responses, paraphrasing and summarizing
- Show here: More Than A Mental Illness, Anosognosia, OR Destigmatize Mental Illness Mention brief blurb about the film â won our competition in <YEAR>, sentence about the filmmaker (can be based on acceptance videos on website) Segue theme of film â stigma- into next slide
- Invite audience to divide into groups again (maybe encourage new groups?), allow 5 minutes for discussion before coming back together.
- Live document responses, paraphrasing and summarizing
- Mention when film came into library, brief note about filmmaker
- Invite audience to divide into groups again (maybe encourage new groups?), allow 5 minutes for discussion before coming back together.
- Transition directly into large group responses, no small group discussions
- Thank audience for participation. After having these conversations and processing new and/or complicated information we can feel a little lost, and here is when we want to provide concrete opportunities to engage and continue this discussion. We donât often talk this in-depth, we have people here for you to help digest this information and provide information about services. Fortunate enough to have students sharing stories, panelist experts from your campus, and mental health professionals/ resources in your community here today to inform you of ways you can support your mental health. Will tell you about ways you can engage with us (AWI) just before we break for good.
- Now will invite our panelists to come up, and in the meantime will hand out evaluations which are really valuable to us for improving our programming and keeping it relevant. Will also assist your school in knowing how to better serve you. Moderate the panel discussion â Introduce all panelists when inviting them up. Students typically speaking first (check in with them to ensure this is okay for them), indicate which panelist will speak next throughout. Q&A Invite students to ask questions to panelists while monitoring time. Encourage students to view booths or resource tables before leaving Close out the panel and give (or have volunteer hand-out) panelist thank you gifts
- AWI exists to create a community of students, artists, advocates, who want to have these conversations...if youâre interested in staying in touch with us and becoming a part of a larger community of students across N. America who believe in the power of art to subvert stigma
- Mention ways students can reach out, contact us with feedback or comments. Encourage film submissions â weâd love to see your films, competition is ongoing We are on many forms of social media, reach out! We have a sign-up list here if youâre interested in learning about other events and workshops, reading our blogs, etc. Iâll be here if you have any questions for me specifically. Thank the group again and close out discussion
